The Wolverines rewrote their narrative with two improbable wins to end the season. Here's what we learned at the ReliaQuest Bowl.

The ReliaQuest Bowl did not go according to plan for Alabama, with the Crimson Tide losing to Michigan for the second straight year in a bowl game.

After committing three very early turnovers in the ReliaQuest Bowl, the Crimson Tide offense never got going despite the defense's stout effort.

The Crimson Tide's starter was Elijah Pritchett for the majority of 2024, a position battle he won and held onto from Week 3 against Wisconsin until the Mercer game. In Alabama's 28-14 win against Auburn Nov. 30, Pritchett and Wilkin Formby basically split each series, something that continued into the bowl game.

Here's how social media is reacting to Michigan knocking off No. 11 Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Tuesday:

Alabama built some momentum heading into the half with two strong drives from the offense, but that momentum evaporated in the third quarter. Even with all the mistakes, the Crimson Tide still had a chance to win in the final minutes.

Simply put, every time the Alabama Crimson Tide and Michigan Wolverines collide on the football field, it garners national attention, and rightfully so. Well, that is exactly what happened once again

A year removed from winning the national championship, Michigan finished its first season under Sherrone Moore with a victory setting the tone for a bright future. Moore replaced Jim Harbaugh after the former U of M coach left for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers last winter.
